Dear Kathryn, On this lovely Sunday morning I want to say "thank you" for the extra effort you put forth in responding to pleas for help! The thoroughness and thoughtfulness of your replies is genuine and graciously heartfelt. Hopefully one day before I retire from the Navy I'll be able to visit Bedford County to get a better feel of my family's past. So many people, especially you, have shared so much information with me that I might not have otherwise found on my own for many years. You have truly made me feel a part of Shelbyville; I can't wait to visit!

Curle (1841-1903) Date: Sun, 17 Nov 2002 21:29:49 -0800 (PST) Hi Mike, I did want to pass along that David is buried with both of his wives. His second wife, Fannie A. Jennings, was the daughter of Edmond W. Jennings (February 11, 1818- November 20, 1912) and had at least 5 other siblings. She was also previously married on August 05, 1882 in Bedford County to W. Don Madison (September 07, 1852- April 15, 1887). He is buried in the Madison Cemetery in Bedford County. They had at least two children, Vera Don Madison and Nanie Lee Madison. Perhaps someone else on the list can assist with some of these details. There are some census lookups that could be done that will help with the more details. I did find a "David", age 8 in the 1850 census in the Household of a "Portland" Curle in Franklin County. From the land records below, it looks like a Portland Curle was in Rutherford County before moving to Bedford, as early as 1825. I did not find a record for Portland in the Bedford County Cemetery book. You might want to have a look around Franklin or Rutherford Counties. Defitinely worth looking at the 1860 and 1870 census records to see if you find them. Hope the following helps; I will pass more info along if I find it.

Mike, You must go to Shelbyville one day. It is wonderful and the people are just as friendly there as they are online. I remember the first time I went, in 1978, I fell in love with the town and it's people. Lewisburg, just west of it in Marshall county was the same way. The folks in the Court House are so willing to help you and make you feel "down Home". I have never been anywhere else that they have done that for me. Plan to spend a few days at the least. Shelbyville has a great genealogy department. Also, Murpheesboro, just a few miles north, has a wonderful department also, with lots of helpful people. We are retired Navy, my husband did 27 years, and I would go down and stay at Arnold Air Force Base just 20 miles east at Tullahoma. Just go straight out 64 from Shelbyville. It is an AF Base so the rates are very reasonable. Great lodging and again the folks there are great. Hope you get to go soon and enjoy it as much as we have over the years. I was from KS and then we got stationed in Memphis so it was only a 4 hours drive for me from there and I visited several times in the 8 years we were there. Good luck on your trek and your retirement.
